Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electroluminescence, and in particular relates to a laminated organic electroluminescent device and a display device. Background Art
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are gradually gaining more and more attention due to their self-luminous properties, faster response speed, higher contrast, wider viewing angle, lower energy consumption, and thinner size. If a single-layer device structure is used in OLED devices, a higher operating voltage needs to be provided to achieve a certain luminous brightness, which results in excessive current passing through the device, adversely affecting the device's photoelectric performance and lifespan. A stacked organic electroluminescent device (hereinafter referred to as a stacked device) includes two or more light-emitting units, which are connected in series through a charge generation layer, so that the device's luminous brightness and current efficiency can be greatly improved to meet usage requirements.
[0003] Like single-layer organic electroluminescent devices, stacked devices also inevitably have the problem of life decay, and its life decay includes the life decay of each light-emitting unit. Among all the light-emitting units of the current stacked devices, except for the light-emitting layer materials that vary according to the color of the light-emitting unit, other organic functional layers basically use the same organic functional materials, and the hole / electron generation capacity of the charge generation layer is relatively weak, which makes the device operating voltage high and the life short. Compared with general OLED devices, the luminous efficiency of the entire stacked device is difficult to achieve an exponential increase. In recent years, the industry has been constantly exploring and trying to improve the performance and stability of stacked devices. Although the performance has been improved to a certain extent, the problem of high device operating voltage and severe life decay due to unbalanced carrier transmission has always existed.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a stacked organic electroluminescent device with higher performance. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a stacked organic electroluminescent device and a display device. By designing and compounding the electron blocking layers in each light-emitting unit, the operating voltage of the stacked organic electroluminescent device is effectively reduced, the luminous efficiency is improved, and the service life of the device is extended, thereby improving the display effect of the device.
[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a stacked organic electroluminescent device, the stacked organic electroluminescent device comprising an anode, a first light-emitting unit, a second light-emitting unit and a cathode arranged in sequence; the first light-emitting unit comprises at least one A-type light-emitting subunit, and the second light-emitting unit comprises at least one B-type light-emitting subunit; each of the A-type light-emitting subunits and each of the B-type light-emitting subunits independently comprises an electron blocking layer and a light-emitting layer; the hole mobility of the electron blocking layer material of at least one of the A-type light-emitting subunits is less than the hole mobility of the electron blocking layer material of at least one of the B-type light-emitting subunits; the hole mobility of the electron blocking layer material of at least one of the B-type light-emitting subunits is ≥1.0×10 - 4 cm 2 ·V -1 ·s -1 .

[0276] The performance test of the stacked organic electroluminescent devices provided in Examples 1-19 and Comparative Examples 1-17 was carried out in the following manner:
[0277] (1) At the same current density, use a digital source meter and a brightness meter to measure the driving voltage and current efficiency of each stacked organic electroluminescent device. Specifically, the voltage is increased at a rate of 0.1 V per second, and the current density of the stacked organic electroluminescent device is measured when it reaches 100 A / m 2 The voltage at this time is the working voltage, and the brightness at this time is measured at the same time. The ratio of brightness to current density is the current efficiency.
[0278] (2) The test method for LT97 life is as follows: at 200A / m 2 Under constant current density, measure the time required for the brightness to decay to 97% of the initial brightness;
[0279] For the stacked organic electroluminescent device with two light-emitting subunits, the test values of the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of Comparative Example 1 are recorded as 1, and the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of each embodiment and other comparative examples are the ratios of their respective test values to the test values of Comparative Example 1 (relative voltage, relative current efficiency); for the stacked organic electroluminescent device with three light-emitting subunits, the test values of the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of Comparative Example 9 are recorded as 1, and the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of each embodiment and other comparative examples are the ratios of their respective test values to the test values of Comparative Example 9. For a stacked organic electroluminescent device having four light-emitting subunits, the test values of the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of Comparative Example 12 are recorded as 1, and the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of each embodiment and other comparative examples are the ratios of their respective test values to the test values of Comparative Example 12; for a stacked organic electroluminescent device having five light-emitting subunits, the test values of the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of Comparative Example 15 are recorded as 1, and the operating voltage, current efficiency, and LT97 life of each embodiment and other comparative examples are the ratios of their respective test values to the test values of Comparative Example 15;
[0280] The test results are shown in Table 2; "EBL" in Table 2 means electron blocking layer; taking Comparative Example 1 as an example, " / " represents that it has 2 light-emitting sub-units, that is, there is no third EBL, fourth EBL and fifth EBL; the same applies to other " / ".
[0281] Table 2
[0282]
[0283]
[0284] Combining the data in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that in the stacked organic electroluminescent device provided by the present invention, by setting the hole mobility of the electron blocking layer material in at least one luminescent subunit close to the cathode to be greater than the hole mobility of the electron blocking layer material in at least one luminescent subunit close to the anode, and making the hole mobility of the electron blocking layer material in at least one luminescent subunit close to the cathode be ≥1.0×10 -4 cm 2 ·V -1 ·s -1 The strong transport material can exert a performance better than that of a single electron blocking layer material through the design and mutual compounding of electron blocking layer materials with different hole mobilities in the light-emitting sub-unit, so that more holes are transferred from the charge generation layer to the light-emitting layer, balancing the injection and transport of holes, reducing hole accumulation, and improving the hole transport efficiency, thereby effectively reducing the operating voltage of the device, improving the current efficiency, and extending the service life.
[0285] The applicant declares that the present invention uses the above embodiments to illustrate the stacked organic electroluminescent device and display device of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above process steps, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above process steps to be implemented.
